World Finance: Oman is the oldest independent state in the Arab world. It has a rich history, culture, and economy. But while its agriculture and tourism sectors are still growing, the backbone of the country has been built on its flourishing energy sector.
Oman has a burgeoning natural gas sector. And as the country’s primary exporter of liquefied natural gas, Oman LNG now runs at a 34 million cubic metre capacity per day.
Oman’s exports of liquefied natural gas has often been described as the game-changer to the country’s economy. The company sees its mission as improving the lives of all Omani people. 1.5 percent of Oman LNG’s net income after tax goes into its diverse social investment programmes, benefitting people of all walks of life.

Dr Mohammad Ibrahim Alfarsi, Executive Director, Sur General Hospital: We are proud that Oman LNG has supported this hospital from the beginning. Oman LNG donated a lot of equipment; this is a great benefit to the community.
Mohammed Bin Hamad Al Rumhy, Minister of Oil and Gas, Oman: It’s good business for creating wealth for the country. The standard of living is growing; everybody wants to build homes and live comfortably. That requires energy; that requires gas.
Harib Al Kitani, CEO, Oman LNG: We are a company that has not left any stone unturned. We are an example of a successful company in Oman and in the region; and we have gone from strength to strength.
Mohammed Bin Hamad Al Rumhy, Minister of Oil and Gas, Oman: The world is moving back towards relying on fossil fuels. The world will need more gas. Oman will rely on this business, I think, for a little bit longer than we thought.
